    I haven't changed at all. granted I have some problems with the side rubber seals but nothing too crazy. Just have been trying to figure out how to run a rack with the cover cause I would like both.

    Nice I understand I have no need for a rack so I'm good I guess.

    Well... It's been about a week but she got lowered .5 in the front... Gives me the rake that I love though. Also painted and installed my ditch light brackets. Thanks @Juforrest they fit perfectly. Just waiting on the lights and switch. Would rather do my Bussman build but this thing is now dubbed the B.O.A.T so I gotta wait a little longer.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Finished up the pattern for my new roof rack fairing.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Its based off the fairing design Prinsu does with the light bar cut out.

    I transferred the pattern over to 1/4" plexiglass and started cutting it out by scoring/snapping the plexi. At some point, I decided I didnt like the tip of my finger and tried to slice it off. I think Ill finish cutting it out with a jigsaw now....

    Did the 90,000 service at the dealership on Saturday. Not preferred, but couldn't be helped this time around. Saved some money by opting to the spark plugs and air filters myself.

    Today I replaced the engine air filter and cabin air filter with an aFe Pro-Dry S and a K&N, respectively. Also installed the brackets for the Red Line Tuning struts. Had to do a little jerry-rigging to add some extra support for the fender brackets. Will finish the install of the struts tomorrow.

    In a sad turn, I discovered a lot more rust on my rack than I initially thought. :( Need to figure out the best way to fix this...

    I’ll look into the ratchet system. I’ve looked long and hard at the fumoto but I just don’t trust it not popping open on some hot day while on the highway leaving me with a 10,000 dollar repair. Maybe I’m paranoid but still...
